Foundation Olmec Claro Grande Cigar – Box of 12

£362.00

After a tobacco-buying trip to the San Andres region of Mexico, Foundation Cigars founder and master blender Nick Melillo was inspired to create a cigar that not only paid tribute to the region’s rich tobacco fields but to the ancient Olmec civilization. Thus, the Foundation Olmec Claro cigar line was born. The Olmecs inhabited the San Andres area from approximately 1600 to 400 BCE. They were known to cultivate tobacco and smoke cigars, and they had built pyramids using precise mathematical formulas. The Olmec Claro cigar features a warm tan Mexican San Andres wrapper that covers a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The leaves for the filler have been bale-aged for three years prior to rolling. This special aging process helps the leaves develop their unique flavour profile.

The Foundation Olmec Claro Grande is a striking cigar that offers a refined and satisfying experience for smokers who appreciate complexity and craftsmanship. Measuring 6 inches in length with a 60-ring gauge, the Grande is the perfect size for a relaxing, longer smoking session. Wrapped in a Claro wrapper from the renowned San Andrés Valley in Mexico, it brings a smooth and silky texture, which is complemented by the rich, earthy aroma characteristic of the region’s tobaccos.

The blend inside the Olmec Claro Grande features a combination of Nicaraguan and Mexican fillers, bound by a Mexican binder, contributing to the cigar’s robust yet approachable flavor profile. Upon lighting, it greets the smoker with creamy notes of almond, cedar, and light spice, offering a mellow introduction. As the smoke continues, the flavors intensify with touches of earth, leather, and a slight sweetness from the Mexican Claro wrapper, which balances the deeper, more peppery undertones from the Nicaraguan fillers.

The Olmec Claro Grande delivers a medium-bodied experience that builds with complexity, showing off the rich flavors of both cedar and nutmeg while maintaining an enjoyable smoothness throughout the burn. Its even construction and firm draw ensure a satisfying and consistent smoke, making it perfect for pairing with a glass of rum, whiskey, or a dark coffee. For cigar enthusiasts looking to explore a well-rounded blend that’s both mellow and flavorful, the Olmec Claro Grande stands out as a premium, balanced offering from Foundation Cigar Company.
